    Yeah, I wish the Pine Note was more popular. Looking forward to buying the first consumer-oriented version (nowhere near talented enough a developer to be able to justify the current dev-oriented unit).

    But is it a dignified and sensible use of our limited time on this beautiful earth to sit in message boards and wait for the mention of certain words - certain hieroglyphs on the screen - and then instantly and mechanically having to type the same reply over and over again every time that word is mentioned? My comment - which contains two good answers to the question asked - is now down voted and [flagged], as expected. In the meanwhile, in the real world outside of Hacker News, these devices are immensely helpful and useful for real people.

Strawman; nobody's doing that. > In the meanwhile, in the real world outside of Hacker News, these devices are immensely helpful and useful for real people. And because they violate the license on software they use, these devices are less useful than they should be. F/OSS licensing can be a matter of principle, but it tends to materialize into practicality, often sooner than later.

The Supernote, but I wouldn't bother... too gimped to be useful. The built-in apps aren't as good as Remarkable's and tend to fall over when you install third-party apps. Hardware's slick tho. Real nice kit. Maybe someday the software will be too

I've been eyeing https://daylightcomputer.com/product https://daylightcomputer.com/product but it's kinda pricey and I don't want a tablet with a web browser that has an eink screen, I want a digital piece of paper, which the Remarkable is.

May be Pocketbook will sparkle your interest - https://pocketbook.ch/en-ch/catalog/e-notes/pocketbook-inkpad-eo-ch https://pocketbook.ch/en-ch/catalog/e-notes/pocketbook-inkpa... 10.3", multicolor E Ink® Kaleido™ 3, Android. The only caveat is that it's not available in US directly but ordering from Germany should not be a problem. Pocketbook was founded in 2007 and it's quite known in Eastern Europe.
